Who Needs a Plumber When You Can Do THIS!

[@sharbinsa]

Great videos as always. I have installed one of these ADV's for the kitchen sink at the cottage (5 years ago). What I remember from my research is that you would need one for every sink that is not connected to the main vent. Also, it doesn't need to be above the sink... simply couple of inches higher than the P-trap.

I could’ve used this video about 1 week ago. Moved a vanity to different location in bathroom and couldn’t vent through roof so I learned about these “studor vents” (although I opted for the oatey brand too!! About 19.99 down here in jacksonville Florida.

[@ArthurFleck-tx9di]

Thank you for simplicity, like you said if your living there youll notice if its not working

[@brianpalmer8894]

Studor vents are not always aloud per code and if your trying to get a plumbing inspection passed you might have to install a loop vent into your kitchen island or run your kitchen waste arm in 3" which acts as its own vent if your code allows if your trying to go by the book studor vents do come in handy and work great

[@hansjensen7823]

Per install instructions- “The Sure-Vent® AAV must be located a minimum of 4 inches above the horizontal branch drain and 6 inches above any insulation material and within 15 degrees of vertical.” I had 110 third floor apartments that had Sure-Vents under every sink counter and absolutely no problems.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

there are recommendations to protect back up and then there are realities people actually have to mace. Cheers!

[@hansjensen7823]

Home RenoVision DIY if the sink or trap backs up, the sink fills. If for some odd rare reason the line backs up after the trap, the vent closes and pushes into the sink. It really is fail proof! www.finehomebuilding.com/2005/11/01/vent-an-island-sink-and-other-tricky-spots

[@joeredhawk]

Ah now I got that tree comment from the Dishwasher install. The only thing to emphasize is that the vent is NOT to be install inside a wall or enclosed by drywall and must be easy to replace (ie screw off old one and put on new one) The vent is venting sewer gas, you do not want this thing failing and venting that gas in your house. Had this conversation on another channel about venting. There is also the Island Loop vent which is for islands. I have yet to see a diagram with code fittings and clean outs.

[@jimbo7props669]

Those are great in a pinch, but do fail. Sewer gnats can get stuck between the diaphragm and the landing that seals off the sewer gas and will remain open allowing sewer gas to enter the cabinet/room. If given the opportunity, install a loop vent on rough in 👍🏻

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

great advice Jim. Cheers!

[@Affordablebath_remodel]

not always easy or possible in older homes. so many kitchen sinks on outside walls, so getting the vent up into the attic or up the wall and out the roof is mighty hard. most bathroom sinks on inside walls with access to the stack.

[@GunsAndRovers]

@@Affordablebath_remodelIf the kitchen sink is located on an outside wall then it should already be vented through an atmospheric vent and not require an AAV (if the house was plumbed correctly in the first place).

[@terry5541]

[@gadasavideos8564]

I'm having island drainage issue for 2nd time in 28 years when house was new. Drain is about 20 ft from island to large drain into septic. First time I changed entry into main line to add additional slope. Under sink the 2 sinks drain to the trap and after trap a short horizontal and then 90 down through floor. Under floor a 90 to the long drain line. A few feet after that under floor 90 there is a y fitting. Connected to the y is a pipe that goes under the floor to a wall and extends up the wall and through the roof. I concluded that's venting. But nowhere can I find that as acceptable venting for and island sink. I have seen that AAV but it was installed under the sink still.

[@davidchristian6057]

At 2:12 you state the AAV has to be placed higher than your fixture, if by fixture you mean the faucet, I'm confused as every source I read online states it must be 4" above the p-trap. *assuming you are in the US as I am.

years ago they called them "quick vents" and they were not code. You had to do the high vent loop inside the island to vent the sink correctly.

Hi Mike, we actually have the install videos coming up. Cheers!

[@Anakinuk007]

Maybe plumbing is different in America than the UK. But here, your waste pipe either runs to a drain (no vent needed), or runs into soil pipe (which is always vented) therefore this gismo is not required. Gurgling happens when you have two appliances running into the same waste pipe, you are creating a vacuum. As long as each appliance has its own piping to a drain or soil stack, no issues. This automatic air vent used is for when you have no choice but for multiple appliances to use the same single pipe. Each pipe run would then require either one of these, or the simpler option is you can get a trap which has a smaller version inbuilt that does the same job.

[@marshallscreekfarm3833]

Thank you for the info. I'm guessing that you put it on the first floor, how about the water line coming from the second floor. Would that be an issue?

[@gamer_valley]

Fun thing: Here in Norway we dont worry much with the whole venting. We have one vent pipe going from one point in the house, up and out through the roof. Thats THE vent. And no, theres no gurgling sounds and the water goes down real fast. Im super confused every time I see plumbing done overseas, as it seems you use twice as much pipe and do twice as much work, for nothing. Maybe it has to do with pipe diameter? Here, the main pipe is 110mm, and the pipes to sinks are 75mm. For short distances, pipes of 50mm, 40mm and even 32mm are used. (The code has maximum lengths of these diameters)

[@conradcoolerfiend]

That might be the difference. 75mm pipe can act as its own vent. In North America we used 50mm a lot.

[@LoCoNights]

Could I use this with a sewage pump basin???

[@GotCamel]

Holy crap! You weren’t kidding about trees holding it up!

[@montanalivin8248]

Yes, AAVs are ok, if it's your house. It's not my house, and I would install a proper island vent... they do not require replacement of AAVs and can be properly cleaned out with the proper clean out locations. People don't realize that plumbers make lives easier and safer. They are just willing to pay for professional work. Granted, there are some hacks out there, but a true professional plumber should never steer you in the wrong direction. Just as heating and cooling says, it's all about your comfort.

[@goldensevolution5418]

Do you have any videos showing how to individually install these under a sink to existing sink plumbing. I have a property we can’t locate where the smell is coming from. We have smoke tested, replaced plumbing and camera the pipes. Before I start opening all the walls I want to try installing these vents on all the sinks. The tenant runs hot water through her sinks each night and says the smell disappears for the most part. Running out of options.

would this get me in trouble in Kentucky? I jackhammered my basement slab to put in drains for a 2nd bathroom but the vent going through my roof is the most difficult obstacle. I own the house. A large plumbing company in my area quoted me $4500 just to install the floor drains. After I did all the hard work breaking the slab! could I place this below the 1st floor as long as its above the floor drains and placed after the traps? My main drain stack head goes below the floor so I don't believe I require a macerator.

Ugh, I had to use one of these valves when renovating my basement laundry room. Didn't want to, but had no choice. I had to tie into a drain pipe near the floor that went straight into the ground - no venting whatsoever. I even had to put the valve below the sink because there was nowhere else to put it without dramatically increasing the scope of work (adding a proper vent pipe in a finished house). It's probably not the most effective there, but it seems to work anyway so far. No gurgling!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

as long as the line does not back up it will be fine. Cheers! The secret is to install it where it is easy to change down the road if needed.

Since this is essentially a one way valve, where it lets air in when there is a vacuum and it stays closed otherwise; wouldn't is also stop the flooding if the lines back up?
